I don't think enough people dunk on contemporary stoics tbh
Stoicism is a boring ideology for nerds who are scared of their own feelings
@coriander my take on contemporary stoicism is it’s for nerds who don’t understand what religion is and also don’t want to go to therapy
@Lady oooh very good take
@coriander my dad is big into stoicism youtube lol
like, it’s fine, but this is not as revolutionary as you think it is lmao
@Lady Yeah it's fine and if it helps you, whatever, but you're not doing like radical masculinity or anything, you're doing what I did my freshman year of college (reading Aristotle)
@coriander god i wish they would actually read
@Lady Admittedly I am being very loose with my definition and am counting quotes on Facebook as "reading"
@coriander because
1) my dude you are literally practicing a religion right now; the greeks were not atheists
2) what you are describing is called cognitive behavioural therapy
